Random thoughts on a freezing cold winter morning:
1. It is kind of random that I’m so excited about Valentine’s Day? Maybe it’s because Christmas is over and I need a new holiday to look forward to.
To celebrate I posted the cutest sweaters at the end of the post.
2. And what do we think of Valentine’s Day trees? Are you team heart tree or team pack it up after Christmas?
3. It is so cold in Texas. We are all freezing right now and it’s 47 degrees.
If you live up north please don’t laugh.
4. It was an amazing week on the blog. We discussed:
- the new rug in the front living room
- the best white paint colors
- what my sister made me for Christmas
- 21 ideas to transition from Christmas to winter decor
5. Have you used a sugar scrub with oil this winter? It’s such a great way to keep your hands soft and hydrated.
And now?
Ready for a little inspiration?

Thankyou for a very interesting post today, I so enjoy having a look round such pretty homes and so many ideas too. I think 47 degrees is pretty chilly too, here in the UK it’s been so cold with rain and gales so I sympathise and long for spring. Take care and stay warm xx
My favorite part of your Saturday posts are the house tours you share, and this week's is so stunning! Absolutely love it! Thanks so much!
Love the 1st sweater, but it has wool in it. I think a heart tree would be cheerful. I may put up my 36" pink tree, thanks for reminding me, Off to get the tree out. Have a wonderful weekend.
Loved the Mt Pleasant home tour- beautiful with loads of photos! Also loved the one about AWE. I find awe in lots of pretty photos and quotes and all things nature. Stay warm- its even cold here in Alabama!
KariAnne, So many great shares today.
I love the sweaters. So cute, warm and stylish. Such great inspiration always. Thank you
I loved the house tours and everything else, It always makes my Saturdays special. I live in Oklahome and it is cold here too but, the sun is shining so it seems warm until you step outside and the wind blows, burrr! Stay warm and cozy with a hot drink and warm fire.
KariAnne, I really enjoyed this post especially the declutter post as I am in the midst of that now. Love the tops, bought 2 as my reward for decluttering, since NOT a fun job, lol !! ;)
The cutest Valentine’s Day sweaters! ❤️ Happy Saturday!
Thank you for sharing my decluttering tips!! Happy January! - Laura
